One By One (One Direction Fanfic)

Aftermath

*Khyrah’s POV*
There he was, that stupid oaf from that boy band. If only the world knew what he really was,  a freak and a monster. I walked over to him and I could smell the alcohol coming off his breath.

"Well aren't you a pretty one."He slurred and I smiled leaning up against him like any drunk party girl would.

"You're not too bad yourself."I said in my best drunken voice impression.

"You know, I'm not like every other guy at this bar."He said wrapping an arm around my waist. I felt appalled by his touch but I couldn't let it show. I needed him to tell me whether his other boyband members were like him.

"Oh yah, well you look like every other guy in this bar."I said taking another sip of my virgin drink. I needed to act drunk not be drunk.

"That's because I have this."He said pulling that charm of his out of his shirt."Want to see what I am without it?"I nodded letting him pull me off the dance floor and into a back hallway.

"What are we doing?"I slurred out and he pressed a finger to my lips.

"You have to be quiet."He said rather loudly and I nodded inwardly rolling my eyes at his stupidity. Sure he was drunk but he wasn't that drunk, or was he? Maybe he was just a lightweight. He took his charm off shoving it at me.

"Hold this."He whispered before doubling over like he had a bad stomach ache. His body stretched and morphed and before you knew it he stood before me. He stood before me as the freak I knew him to be.

"Wow that so cool."I said."Can I like, ride you?"I asked flipping my hair back.

"You can ride me any time."He said wiggling his eyebrows. I giggled and hopped onto his back.

"So do you have any other friends that are different like you?"I whispered in his ear smiling evilly as the words started to tumble from his alcohol flavoured lips. The words that revealed everything about the freaks I knew his friends had to be.
 
*Harry's POV*
I woke up with a pounding headache.

"Bloody hell, what did I do last night?"I asked myself but Liam answered.

"You went out and got so trashed that I had to drive around to find you. I had to go get you after receiving numerous drunken calls from you and this girl named Kylie."Liam said and every word vibrated off my skull making my head hurt even more.

"Just shush Liam."I said leaning against the wall. Yes, I slept standing up but every centaur does. Just like a horse sleeps standing up so do we. Sometimes if I'm really tired I sleep lying down but not often.

"It's seriously strange that you sleep standing up Harry."Clarissa said from another corner in the room. Shooting pain vibrated inside my head.

"Can everyone please shut up?"I moaned."I'm too hung over for this."Clarissa shooed Liam away from my side. She handed me a glass of water and those magical blue pills called ibuprofen.

"You're a lifesaver Claire."I whispered as I swallowed both pills in one gulp.

"Shush Harry, go back to sleep."She pet my head until I floated back into the dark dream world.
 
*Liam's POV*
"I seriously can't believe he went clubbing last night."I said as Clarissa exited Harry's room.

"He just wanted to let go a little."She said shutting the door with a soft click."It’s how he has always been."I shook my head and went to call Danielle like a promised I would.

 
"Hey Dani."I said when she picked up the phone. She didn't give me the satisfaction of a hello back.

"So I was talking to Eleanor about her wonderful last minute swim plans with Louis while you were at an emergency band meeting."She said her words had a biting edge to them that almost physically stung."Tell me Liam, how do you suppose that happened?"I was flustered at the least and struggled to come up with an answer she'd believe that didn't break any council rules.

"Danielle I can explain."I said but she cut me off.

"Why did you lie Liam? Couldn't u have just told me the truth?"She asked her voice breaking as if she was going to cry.

"I can't tell you the truth Dani. I really wish I could but I can't."I said and she sighed.

"Could you tell me whatever you're going to over lunch at my place?"She asked. I knew I shouldn't leave but I also knew I had to if I wanted to have any chance of still having a girlfriend the next day.

"OK Danielle. I'll be there in a few."I said.

"OK see you soon."She said hanging up the phone before I could even say goodbye. This was rocky territory and I knew what I had to do. I had to tell her the truth.
